Samantha Pleet’s Spring 2013 collection, “Sands Of Time,” drew inspiration from Babylon and Mesopotamia, the world’s earliest civilizations. This motif was most evident in pieces like the Ishtar dress, whose print was adapted from biblical myth. Color schemes ranged from rusts and beiges to powder blue and dusty rose. Though the showcase contained predominately shift dresses, a pair of sandy-brown pleated, calve-length trousers paired with a cropped blue, lace-up vest were among the more notable pieces.
